SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 406,288, dated July 2, 1889. Application filed April 26, 1889. Serial No. 308,724. (No model.) Patented in France March 2, 1889, No. 196,423.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, PAUL KoTHNER, a subject of the King of Prussia, residing in the city of Berlin, Prussia, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Atomizers, (for which Letters Patent have been granted to me in France, No. 196,423, dated March 2, 1889,) of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in atomizers; and the object of my invention is to provide an atomizer of such construction that the entire atomizing device can readily be placed within the bottle when said device is not in use, and can also readily be withdrawn and adjusted for use, when required.

The invention consists in the construction and combination of parts and details, as will be fully described hereinafter, and finally pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical transverse sectional view of a bottle provided with my improved atomizing device, the same being in folded or closed position, and the bottle shown in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse sectional View of the stopper and atomizing device, showing the same adjusted for use. Fig. 3 is a top view of Fig. 2, and Fig. at is a detail view of the sliding collar.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The stopper A, which may be made of rubber, cork, or any Other suitable material, is provided with a top plate B, having an externally screw -threaded neck C. A metal tube D, passing through a horizontal aperture in the stopper, is secured at its upper end to the interior of the neck 0, and its lower end projects some distance below the bottom of the stopper. A metal tube E is passed through an aperture in the bottom of the tube D, said tube E extending from near the bottom of the bottle to a short distance above the top of the metal tube E, and is provided at its upper end with an enlargement or flange E. A sliding collar F, provided with laterally-projecting lugs or pivots F, is mounted to slide on that part of the tube E above the bottom of the metal tube D, and

with the said collar one end of a larger tube G, open at both ends, is pivotally connected, said tube G being adapted to pass onto the tube D. A spiral spring II surrounds the tube E and rests 011 the closed bottom of the metal tube D. AcapJ is screwed-on the necl O to close the entire apparatus.

When the device is not in use, the'tube G is contained in the metal tube D, as shown in Fig. 1. Then the apparatus is to be used, the cap J is unscrewed, whereupon the spring I-I throws the tube G upward sufficiently to permit of seizing its upper end. It is then pulled upward until its lower end is above the top of the neck 0 and bent over at right angles. If air is now forced through the tube G in any suitable manner, it will draw up the liquid from the bottle through the tube E and atomize the same at the upper end of said tube E. After'the apparatus has been used the tube G is swung up in line with the tube E and then pushed down into the metal tube D, and the cap J screwed on. The flange E on the upper end of the tube E prevents pulling off the sliding collar F.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure byLetters Patent- 1. In an atomizer, the combination, with a suction-tube, of an air-forcing tube hinged on a sliding collar of the suction-tube, substantially as set forth.

2. In an atomizer, the combination, with a stopper, of a metal tube passing through the same, a smaller suction-tube secured in said metal tube, an air-forcing tube, a sliding collar on said suction-tube, which collar is provided with pivots with which the air-suction tube is connected, substantially as set forth.

3. In an atomizer, the combination, with a stopper, of a tube passing through the same, a smaller suction-tube passing through said tube in the stopper, an air -forcing tube hinged on the sliding collar of the suctiontube, and a top plate on the stopper, which top plate is provided with an externallyscrew-threaded neck, substantially as set forth.

4.. In an atomizer, the combination, with a stopper, of a tube passing through the same,

a smaller suction-tube passing through the bottom of the tube in the stopper, a sliding collar in said suction tube, an air-forcing pipe hinged to said sliding collar, and a spiral spring surrounding the suction-tube with the metal tube in the metal tube in the stopper, substantially as set forth.

In testimony wller ioi I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing \vifne' sex. 0
